Tradestone Gallery, Baltimore

Tradestone Gallery offers Russian artwork and handmade crafts, from nesting dolls to lacquer boxes. The boxes are a unique miniature art form. Each is exquisitely detailed and very well crafted. Many of these small masterpieces are made out of papier-mache, a process that can take months. New items from Russia arrive every month. A small exhibit space features fine contemporary artwork, and a "Russian Bazaar" offers nesting dolls, mother-of-pearl jewelry and chess sets.
